As you woke up this morning, you noticed the camp had been visited during the night. There are several tracks on the ground, there is an odor in the air that is instantly caught by your senses, and you notice that some food that had been left out was eaten.
Identify the tracks of the animal that visited your camp last night, and write up a possible solution to keeping this animal out of the food, and what dangers it might bring if you meet it face to face.
this is a fox, and this a way to get rid of it. 1) Purchase large cage traps - rated raccoon size or above, usually about 12" x 12" x 36" or so.
2) Set traps with meat-based bait in areas of fox activity. Make sure traps are scent-free and flush to the ground, and set in the shade.
3) Relocate any trapped fox at least 10 miles from capture site. Please be mindful of the possibility of a fox den with pups before trapping and relocating a lactating female fox.
4) If you have fox living by you, install an exclusion barrier - steel mesh around the perimeter, and down at least 12 into the ground, with bottom of mesh sloping outward
